Day 2-Bangkok/Chiang Mai

Today we explored Bangkok and took a boat along the klong canals. We were able to visit the Grand Palace and sacred Emerald Buddha at Wat Phra Kaew temple. Later, we caught a flight to Chiang Mai followed by us settling into the exquisite surroundings in Chiang Mai to take a relaxing break from the fast pace of Bangkok. ​

Klong Riverboat Tour 
We traveled by longtail boat on the busy Chao Phraya River. We went through the smaller klongs (canals) to see skyscrapers, temples, and shops in the distance, and the densely populated waterfront settlements up close. 

Grand Palace Visit 
We visited the King's official residence (made up of many buildings, halls, lawns, gardens, and courtyards) on the banks of the Chao Phraya River and see the Temple of the Emerald Buddha.
